I persisted! The macOS version of “she danced in the wind like a holographic dream before the world died” is here x)


I wasn’t able to give up on the macOS version, so after a lot of hard work (way too much hard work… the working was HARD)… there’s now a functional macOS version.

Some features do not work, but this does not impact the overall experience.
You cannot save poems to your desktop so you don’t get the ending poem.
You cannot change resolution settings, this is because those break the browser widget that’s being used. The one on macOS works very different, and has restrictions, so anything that causes a resolution change breaks it.

This is also a development build, with the console disabled. This is because for the shipping setup the browser widget breaks completely, and I really don’t have the energy to figure out why… So this is good enough.

I tested it, and this works. You will however need a good relatively new Apple computer to run it.

Please note the minimum requirements in the readme.

To be able to run this you can use Dequarantine for macOS https://fluffy.itch.io/dequarantine
Or use the itch.io launcher to bypass Gatekeeper.

…But hey it works! I beat macOS! xD

Gif appropriate to how I feel right now:


Special thanks to this post which helped me with an issue I had in upgrading this project to the most recent version of Unreal. I’ll leave it here incase I have the same problem again.

amazing! will you add the Mac version to the steam release?

Thank you for making a Mac version. I'll do what I can to get the word out.

I’m glad you could get this working, despite every barrier Apple has put in the way!

After reading all the hurdles you had to face in past games with macOS's walled garden and how Apple treats games like yours I'm really glad you could make it work in the end! I watched your silent walkthrough as I couldn't wait and I know dealing with this is no joke so I supported you the best I could ^^ 

Please keep doing what you do and don't give up! Hope all these efforts were worth it for you in the end
